Family Day In May

Mandy and I think it's important to take the kids out on the town every couple of weeks just to have fun. There are always going to be a ton of things to do around the house, but you gotta learn when to set those aside and focus on the fun things in life. Today we ran with that thought and tried to do every fun thing in town.

First we went to the waterfall. Adam jumped in a puddle of course splashing mud all up his back, but we found a millipede and Alex learned he hated the place. Next up Casa! Fajitas for Mandy, cheeseburger for Adam, nuggets for Alex, and low cholesterol Bill got Mexican rice with grilled shrimp and vegetables on top. Next up free ice cream and a walk down by the river to see the Indian Tee P's. That lead to Adam wanting to go to the dips which are a series of hills in Sheffield that make you feel like you're riding a roller coaster. Two rides later and we were ready for a quick walk at the new River Front park pier which Mandy hadn't seen before, but Adam and I fish off of sometimes. After a quick stop to pick up the Gigi, Adam and I went see the most awesome superhero movie of all time The Avengers while the rest of gang went shopping! Adam wore his Ironman costume and every person that walked by told him how cool he was! He even clapped a few times as the HULK took care of business. Last but not least a trip to the grocery store to get some cholesterol free foods then home to crash.

From start to finish we visited 3 different parks, saw one 2 1/2 hr movie, and were gone from 10 this morning to 8 this evening.

About Me

I’m just your average southern guy learning how to be the best dad I can.
I live in a small town in Alabama with my wife Mandy, 5yr-old son Adam, and 1 1/2 yr old Alex. Adam was born on 3/20/06 and that's when the adventure truly began.
I call myself Charlie Blockhead because #1 I’m a huge Peanuts fan, #2 Sometimes I do thing’s that are so….out of this world bizarre that even I am left wondering what happened.
I am a religious person, but it took me a long time to figure that out. Over the past few years it has been my goal to form solid opinions about life issues, politics, and what is right and wrong. I have been the child of a close family, a child of divorce, a nerd in school, a comic book geek, the stepson of an angry man, the brother of a baseball star, a frat bro, a hard worker, a freelance writer, an evil bill collector, a loving husband, a believer in Christ, a Deacon,a guy who just really likes to laugh, and most importantly a dad….. Maybe I’m not so average after all.
